Towards Learning to Speak and Hear Through Multi-Agent Communication over a Continuous Acoustic Channel

no code implementations4 Nov 2021 Kevin Eloff, Okko Räsänen, Herman A. Engelbrecht, Arnu Pretorius, Herman Kamper

Multi-agent reinforcement learning has been used as an effective means to study emergent communication between agents, yet little focus has been given to continuous acoustic communication.

Toward Collaborative Reinforcement Learning Agents that Communicate Through Text-Based Natural Language

1 code implementation20 Jul 2021 Kevin Eloff, Herman A. Engelbrecht

We test the ability of reinforcement learning agents to effectively communicate through discrete word-level symbols and show that the agents are able to sufficiently communicate through natural language with a limited vocabulary.

Learning the Subsystem of Local Planning for Autonomous Racing

2 code implementations22 Feb 2021 Benjamin Evans, Hendrik W. Jordaan, Herman A. Engelbrecht

We approach the autonomous racing problem with the added constraint of not maintaining an updated obstacle map of the environment.

Unsupervised feature learning for speech using correspondence and Siamese networks

no code implementations28 Mar 2020 Petri-Johan Last, Herman A. Engelbrecht, Herman Kamper

Dynamic programming is then used to align the feature frames between each word pair, serving as weak top-down supervision for the two models.

BINet: a binary inpainting network for deep patch-based image compression

1 code implementation11 Dec 2019 André Nortje, Willie Brink, Herman A. Engelbrecht, Herman Kamper

We propose the Binary Inpainting Network (BINet), an autoencoder framework which incorporates binary inpainting to reinstate interdependencies between adjacent patches, for improved patch-based compression of still images.

Deep motion estimation for parallel inter-frame prediction in video compression

1 code implementation11 Dec 2019 André Nortje, Herman A. Engelbrecht, Herman Kamper

Standard video codecs rely on optical flow to guide inter-frame prediction: pixels from reference frames are moved via motion vectors to predict target video frames.

Multimodal One-Shot Learning of Speech and Images

2 code implementations9 Nov 2018 Ryan Eloff, Herman A. Engelbrecht, Herman Kamper

Imagine a robot is shown new concepts visually together with spoken tags, e. g. "milk", "eggs", "butter".
